One can’t deny the
fact that composers from Goa, India’s Sunshine State, have always been
talented.
But sometimes,
they have to resign themselves to the fact that they may remain underrated.
As unfair as it
were, that was how Datta Naik, alias N Datta, was C(handrak)a(n)tagorised.
However, to
Hindi film music buffs of a certain vintage, he is not uN(ai)known.
One of his most
memorable songs was Maine Chand Aur
Sitaron Ki Tamanna Ki Thi, from Chandrakanta
(1956).
The track, which
continues to be one of Mohammed Rafi’s (Ra)finest renditions, was penned by
Sahir Ludhianvi.
